The Food Addition... Also In Reverse

 

My wife and I are most definitely foodies and so whenever in new places, we like to seek unique places to eat at. On our final evening, we ate at a place called Mad Eats in the suburbs of Tulsa where our motel was and we were not disappointed with the food. The service lacked something to be desired as our appetizer arrived then minutes after our entrees. Above are the tuna poke tostadas with avocado mash my wife ate. (As well as posting in reverse order, Blogger decided to rotate this one and the one below to boot.)

I had the grilled chicken chimi with pico de gallo and cilantro lime crema. 

My girls who weren't hungry yet when we entered the place downed their typical fried chicken tender dish as well as a monster sized shake called "The Loot" that had white cake, fruity pebbles and lots of sprinkles and marshmallow. 

With the kids safely ensconced in the motel with a bag of Chick-fil-a, my wife and I had a nice five course dinner date night as a farm to table placed called Juniper. As we always experience with similar places, the food was fantastic. Above was the dessert course, which was a chocolate pie with oreo crust, dark chocolate mousse, chocolate streusel, chocolate ganache and chocolate whipped cream. As you might expect, it was very chocolatey. 

For the entrée we had a grilled beef tenderloin with roasted mushrooms and herbed potato fries with a veal demi-glace.

The soup course was an autumn risotto with fall squash, root vegetables, pecans and carrot sauce. We both thought this was our favorite course of the evening.

The apple and farro salad had walnuts, kale, goat cheese and a cider vinaigrette. 

The appetizer was whipped goat cheese, honey, salami on crostini. 

Because we made reservations for four o'clock on a Thursday, we had the entire place to ourselves so had excellent service. My water glass was topped off well over a dozen times during the course of our dinner even though I probably drank just two glasses full.

Prior to that, our previous evening meal was at sushi place, the name of which I have forgotten. It was pretty decent sushi and again, blogger decided to rotate this picture for me.

The prior evening we ate at a really nice seafood place where my wife got some raw oysters to eat. Normally I would help her out but I was too full to eat any this time.

My wife's dinner was a shrimp boil in a bag.

I had catfish creole which satisfied my spicy itch and was absolutely delicious.

On the day we headed to Dallas to see family, we stopped for brunch at another farm to table restaurant, (the first on this trip had things been posted in their correct order,) at a native American restaurant called 39 in Oklahoma City, named after the 39 indigenous tribes of Oklahoma. Above my wife got corn pancakes while below, I got corn biscuits and bison gravy. I have never had corn biscuits or pancakes but both were probably the best I've ever eaten. 

While on vacation, we tend to eat early to avoid crowds and so we were the only ones in the restaurant for much of our meal. 

Finally, or the first place we ate out on our vacation, we did so by chance. We actually stopped to see the funky art place across the street but due to Covid restrictions, had to kill around 90 minutes before we were allowed into the building. So we walked across the street to this burger joint, home of the Fatty burger. Wanting to see all the hoopla but not being terribly hungry, I ordered the slider version of the Fatty which is advertised as a 3 oz. beef patty on a Kaiser bun with American cheese, pickles and grilled onions. It sounds pretty ordinary but the flavor on that thing made it the best burger I've ever had in my life. Their spicing game is on point! My only regret was that I hadn't been hungry enough to order the full sized Fatty.
